View PostVollketten, on Mar 27 2015 - 14:21, said: Chief, an old edition of AFV News had this vehicle: 'Proposed 2-Man Tank (Heavy)'  It is described as being the brainchild of Lt.Col. G.M.Barnes, US Army Ordnance Dept in April 1938 2 Crew, Driver and Gunner 20-25 horsepower per ton max speed 20mph on 5% slope and 35mph on the road.  1.5" armour as standard Gunner is also the commander as the gun is a 37mm 'self-loader' with a .30 calibre machine gun with a 60 degree traverse (30 deg each side I assume) 11' long 6.5' wide 4.5' high 7 tons (so 20-25hp/t would mean a 140 to 175hp engine) Capable of crossing a 4' trench   Further information on this is apparently in the Manuscript Collection and Archives of the US Military History Institute at Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania consisting of 9 plates and seven further appendices.   Have you come across this vehicle in your hunt or is this collection on your radar for further hunting?  

The_Chieftain:   No, can't say it is.   You know, I really should try to put Carlisle on my list of places to go this year.
